There is some good info (and a familiar face) in this thread over at cloudy nights: http://www.cloudynights.com/ubbthrea...81/Main/253485

I have no experience with the Dob Driver, however if your budget can stretch to a Junior ServoCAT and ArgoNavis (al lot dearer than the Dob driver) I can highly recommend that.

There are also the new johnsonian tracking platforms for dobs now available at Bintel but i dont know how good they are.
I myself am waiting for a review to see what there like, though they are expensive i think $1150
